I agree. This is lifestyle and culture writing with good photography. The identity of the writer isn't important. The only issue would be if it isn't original work, but I see no evidence of that.

she claims to be the girl in the pictures, as you can see also in her introduceyourself post:

is identity theft not a serious issue? @anyx @cheetah
there's even a selfie in her intro. so if the identity of the writer is not the same as the girl taking the selfie then it's clear that the photographs are ripped form some social media.
What I'm saying is the context of this post makes the identity of the author irrelevant. It could be a fictional or semi-fictionalized character speaking in the first person (like Carrie from Sex and the City) and it would take nothing away from the post. Now if the pictures are ripped off, that's an issue. If there is identity theft that's an issue.
But for all you know the photos are the actual author, or are used with permission. Unless you have evidence to the contrary you are engaging in a witch hunt. Please stop.
You are certainly free to not vote for the post though, for whatever reason, if it doesn't appear compelling to you as adding value.
@smooth I agree. I don't support content theft or misleading people but some people spend so much time looking for plagiarism etc that could be better spent reading and upvoting high quality original content.
